External JSON Authentication

Tickets 3.5+ and MrPassword 3.0+ supports a new authentication system based on the JSON protocol.

This system allows you to more easily authenticate users to an external database without the need to run a full Active Directory or LDAP server.

All our applications will include support for this style of authentication.

We have attached a PHP script that acts as the "server" component. You would include this script (with modifications) with your external application.

The external application can be running on another server or web host.

External Authentication

Tickets allows you to authenticate users against an external system or database.

For example if you have an existing phpBB forum installed you can allow users of this forum to login to Tickets without signing up an account. This also means that the user can always use the same password on Tickets as on the external system.

This system works by installing a small piece of code on your external system that Tickets will lookup whenever a user logs in.
